Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

"Master Chai, when you cook this fish, you can add more houttuynia cordata and aged vinegar. This will help extract the essence from the fish meat and strengthen the bones. After all, it's a precious fish, and the essence inside can't be wasted."

This method was seen in "Baiweichao". Chen Changfan shared it with Mr. Chai Da for free as a way to repay his kindness.

"I see, thank you very much."

"Although we don't know each other, we get along very well. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me, Chai."

Chen Changfan was stunned.

Is this guy so arrogant?

Chai Feng laughed heartily, bowed slightly to Chen Erlang, and strode away with a few others.

Chen Changfan gave some instructions and asked Old Wei and Aunt Liu to sell fish and noodles, while Hu the bricklayer went back and forth to help.

Although the three of them were busy and sweating, they couldn't help but show respect on their faces when they saw the boss coming back.

The shop had just opened today and the owner had already earned more than five hundred taels of silver.

This earning power is too terrifying!

Moreover, there were still about ten pounds of fish meat left from the precious fish, which was also worth thirty taels of silver!

This means that this giant bony fish alone was sold for nearly 600 taels of silver.

You know, with such a turnover, even in a crowded rice shop, it would probably take a month's turnover to make enough money.

Of course, they are sincerely convinced that their boss makes so much money.

That giant bony fish is so huge that it might even eat humans.

The boss captured and killed it alone. It was impossible to deny his ability.

Moreover, what kind of person is Mr. Chai?

Now that the boss has established such a relationship, he can just send any spiritual fish or precious fish to him in the future.

I heard that the boss also has connections with the official's mansion. With this ability to please everyone, if he doesn't make money, who will?

Although the three of them were busy, they felt happy.

Especially Aunt Liu. Yesterday she was still giving out bowls of rice noodles with great pains, but today she is selling them at ten cents a bowl and everyone is lining up to buy them.

When she thought about earning ten cents for selling a bowl of noodles, she felt full of energy.

"Give me a bowl of noodles quickly! I've been craving this since I got home yesterday. I won't feel happy until I have a bowl!"

"Rice is now 30 wen a liter, it's pure robbery! This bowl of noodles is only 10 wen, it's worth it!"

"Who developed this thing? The more I eat it, the more addictive it gets!"

There was a long queue at the snail noodle stall, and the fish stall was also crowded.

Many people were waiting to buy fish, and even more came for the giant bony fish.

I have to say that there are still many rich people in the city.

The fish meat, which cost one tael of silver per pound, was quickly sold out.

"Miss, the meat of this treasure fish looks extraordinary. I want to eat a bite of it raw."

Yun'er was holding a crab in one hand and two pounds of fish in the other, and her mouth was watering with greed.

"I really can't do anything with you. I'm going to find Daddy tomorrow and ask her to send you back home!"

"Miss, I'm just kidding. Except for our place which is a little better, there are disasters everywhere. You don't know how many people have starved to death out there!"

Hearing Yun'er's words, a look of worry appeared on Tang Wan'er's face.

There are constant natural disasters outside, and it is said that there are starving people everywhere.

But she spent two taels of silver to buy meat. Isn't this too extravagant?

"Miss, if you feel uneasy, just give me the fish and let me bear this sin alone."

"Slippery tongue! Don't even think about eating a single crab leg today!"

"Miss! You have such a cruel heart—"

……

Chen Changfan glanced at the crowded fish stall and the brisk snail noodle stall.

He glanced again at the Wu family fish stall, which was in a mess and deserted.

The contrast between the two sides is simply too strong.

Although the three members of the Wu family cast resentful glances at this side from time to time, they did not dare to cause trouble again and had to swallow their anger.

Chen Changfan saw that the business here was on the right track, while the Wu family fish stall was already going out of business. Although this was within his expectations, it was a bit too fast for the other party to go bankrupt.

When doing business, you must base it on integrity and take products as the root. If your foundation is not strong enough and you always think about cheating, you will be eliminated by the market sooner or later.

Suddenly having some free time, he went to the West Market alone, intending to visit the cattle and horse market.

In this era, cattle and horses are not derogatory terms, but are even an extremely precious resource. After all, a good horse is worth a thousand gold coins, comparable to a million-dollar luxury car in modern society.

Modern cattle and horses are not worth that much money.

Of course, Chen Erlang didn’t go there for the Ferghana horse. Where could he find such a thing in this small county town?

But even if it was available in this small county town, he couldn't afford it.

He didn't buy the horse to compete with those young masters in riding, he had his own considerations.

When he arrived at the cattle and horse market, Chen Erlang found that most of the people selling cattle were cattle, with only a few skinny horses.

This is not surprising. After all, in the farming era, the hardworking old ox was the primary productive force.

Many people will choose to buy a cow when they have money. It can both plow the fields and pull carts. Apart from being slow and not good at running, it has almost no major disadvantages.

But horses are different. They need good fodder, lack endurance, and are particularly concerned about bloodline.

The price difference between a purebred horse and a crossbred horse can be huge, so there are not many people who play with horses, and even fewer people who understand horses.

Chen Changfan's eyes roamed back and forth among the skinny horses, immediately attracting the stall owner's attention.

"You want to buy a horse? Do you have any horses you like?"

The stall owner saw that Chen Changfan was wearing coarse linen clothes and smelled of fish, and his attitude was not very enthusiastic.

Chen Changfan pointed at the smallest horse among them and asked, "What breed is this horse and how much is it?"

The stall owner took a quick glance and thought to himself that this was another fool who picked the worst horse right away.

He couldn't help laughing in his heart, but the corners of his mouth turned up, "Your Excellency really knows how to choose. Although this horse is a little short, it..."

Chen Changfan raised his hand to interrupt, "Stop it! The horse is half dead, why are you still trying to fool me? Just name your price and don't say anything nonsense."

The stall owner chuckled, rolled his eyes, and said, "I see you're serious about buying it. The going rate is eight taels of silver per horse. I'll take a loss today. Seven taels of silver, and you can take the horse away."

Hearing this, Chen Changfan knew that the stall owner knew nothing about horses.

The fact that he was willing to sell it at a lower price showed that he believed the pony was worthless.

But in his opinion, this pony is the best horse here.

He walked forward to check the pony's teeth and hooves, and after confirming that there was no problem, he nodded secretly.

This horse still looks very healthy. The reason why it is a little thinner is probably because the stall owner cannot feed it well.

"You want seven taels of silver for such a small pony? You must be crazy about money."

Chen Changfan imitated the Wu family's tone and bargained for a long time, making the stall owner sweat on his forehead.

In the end, he was able to take it down for six taels of silver and five strings of cash.

The stall owner almost laughed out loud on the spot.

This pony has been in my possession for two months, but there hasn't been a single buyer. Today, I finally met a sucker!

Chen Changfan paid the money and silently cursed the stall owner as an idiot in his heart.

He sold the good horse for the price of an inferior horse, and he was secretly happy about it!

Pulling the reins, the pony obediently followed Chen Changfan.

A pair of bright big eyes looked at the new owner from time to time, as if wondering whether the other party could feed him.

But the pony blinked a few times and then silently lowered its head. Its eyes seemed to say: No matter how you look at it, this new owner doesn't look like a rich man...

Chen Changfan first bought some high-quality forage grass, and added black beans, peas, bran, carrots and other things so that the pony could have a good meal.

Then he spent another two copper coins to hire someone to clean the pony from head to toe.

At this time, the dwarf horse looked at Chen Changfan with a different look.

After putting on the new saddle, Chen Changfan sat on it directly, looking quite majestic.

But unexpectedly, not long after they walked down the street, the man and the horse were surrounded.
